Jack McVea and Illinois Jacquet - tenor sax, J J Johnson - trombone, Shorty Nadine - piano, Johnny Miller - bass, Les Paul - guitar, and Lee Young - drums.
Heluva crew here. Made some good jazz this night! I named Les Paul in the title just because he's my hero.
Here's a technical note - I got a good sound splice with Part 1 and Part 2, but 2 & 3 not as good. I think something was missing, maybe edited out of the original recording..??
Real nice thank you for posting...good to hear the music I like very much...

Used to have this JATP set AND 10" LP & currently have both tracks from this volume posted at my channel.
This is the complete recording - there are a couple of skips in the original master near the beginning of Les Paul's solo & that's likely the reason for the choppy mix.
And, "Shorty Nadine" is actually none other than Nat King Cole, who had to go under a pseudonym for obvious contractural obligations to Capitol records.

Almost all of these Jazz at the Philharmonic discs have missing bars where the sides join - apparently there was only one turntable they used for recording, so there would be few seconds missing before they could switch the wax master. Very few of them were dubbed from the Radio station transcriptions (33rpm), and they don't have problems like this.

You have posted many great videos, I belive this is one of the best, despite any sound problems.
